Stars host Canucks in battle of former division rivals

DALLAS -- The Vancouver Canucks and Dallas Stars used to be Pacific Division bunkmates. And even though they are now in separate divisions, battles between these former division rivals are always spirited affairs.

Vancouver and Dallas last met on Nov. 13 at Rogers Arena with the Canucks taking the full two points thanks to a 5-4 overtime win.

[PG Canuck]

Another Lehtonen special?

 

[Rotting Corpse*]

I don't remember the Stars ever being a division rival to be honest.

 

[VanJack]

Coming back with Miller, but this arena hasn't been kind to him in the past....he's going to be facing a lot more pucks and quality scoring chances than he did in Phoenix....key will be surviving the first 10 minutes.

 

[Ainec]

we lose this one unfortunately

 

[M2Beezy]

5-2 Dallas with goals from Bowie and Hutty

Dallas is just too good and too talented cant see us winning this

 

[Samzilla]

i'm happy we finally beat dallas for the first time in years...and it was perfectly poetic that we overcame a 2 goal deficit in the 3rd to win in OT. that's been the classic way we've been losing to them for like 2 years now.

long story short: don't care what happens from here on out...we beat them once, that's all i wanted.

 

[clunk]

we lose this one unfortunately

ftfy

 

[Nucker101]

At least this one will be fun to watch. I'm actually going to put in the effort to pvr this

 

[mathonwy]

Errr....

Dallas has never been in the same division as the Nucks.

Minnesota North Stars were.

 

[David Bruce Banner]

I don't remember the Stars ever being a division rival to be honest.

I remember a pretty entertaining playoff series a couple of years back, but that's pretty much it for any recent history.

Love the WOV, there Chairman Maouth. Used to be a big fan.

Anyway, Canucks on a roll now...

4-2
Hutton, Baertschi, Horvat and Daniel.

 

[JuniorNelson]

They should change their names to golden stars to try to stay current. Or, they could grow mustaches and become the porn stars? Taking new names like, Rejean Ardonne would be too much, I guess. It's unworkable. I have other ideas, though. What about riding the Sedins and just let them take care of all the scoring?

 

[DL44]

Just win baby.

Want to see the PP start going now.

 

[thepoeticgoblin]

And per usual, Miller gets the starter's job while Marky is left to enjoy the tired and deflated (probably) D on the backend of a b2b. Just one of numerous hints that this is a "competing" team.

Stecher scores today.

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

I'm feeling goals from Baertschi (bounces are finally going his way) and Eriksson (vs. his former club) today.

I don't feel optimistic about us winning this one, though.

 

[Eddy Punch Clock]

I don't remember the Stars ever being a division rival to be honest.

Exactly what I was thinking.

 

[SgtToody]

Stars 4-1; Trymakin with the goal...

 

[CherryToke]

Dallas is just too good and too talented cant see us winning this

They're 8-8-5 with -16 goal differential and have the most GA in the western conference.

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

I'm feeling goals from Baertschi (bounces are finally going his way) and Eriksson (vs. his former club) today.

I don't feel optimistic about us winning this one, though.

I spoke too soon. Baertschi out tonight with a foot injury. Megna will skate in his place on the Horvat line, and the Canucks have recalled Grenier from Utica. Woof.

 

[polarbearcub]

Baertchi left morning skate early.. No reason given

 

[CherryToke]

I think Willie D injured him because he's making Horvat get away from his game.

 

[thepoeticgoblin]

Half of our forward are AHLers... wouldn't have hurt to have one of Pulkkinen, MPS or Griffith now..

 

[ATypicalCanadian]

Grenier's been recalled and Baertschi left the ice.. Injury perhaps ?

 

[VanillaCoke]

I'm feeling goals from Baertschi (bounces are finally going his way) and Eriksson (vs. his former club) today.

I don't feel optimistic about us winning this one, though.

Second choice lol

 

[Intoewsables]

Crappy time for Baertschi to get injured given that it looked like he was starting to get his confidence back. Hopefully it's a short-term thing.
